The questions - I don't want to use the Airport base station for the
internet connection. I want all connections to the internet to go through
the Linux box for security reasons.
Do I even need the base station since all I want to do is routing for the
wireless connection? The Knowledge Base seems to imply that simple routing
through a software access point (the Quicksilver with an airport card) is
not supported.
Assuming the QuickSilver is running OS 9:
The software access point is basically a cut down version of
IPNetRouter. Worst case you could just buy a full copy of IPNetRouter
from

If it's running OS X it shouldn't be a problem at all, other than
some Unix routing jiggery-pokery :)
If that's true then is it possible to just hang the Airport Base Station off
the Quicksilver and have it do routing for the other wireless machines?
You shouldn't need to buy a base station (although they do have the
advantage that they rarely crash :)
Have fun,
Shay
